TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[Dream143r]

Oh no TB. DH isn't back until tomorrow? Grrrr

Going for my sonohysterogram this morning. DH's SA is scheduled for next Monday morning.

 

[SunnyBe]

It could still work Tb! The follicle stays alive for 12-24 hours after rupture, and sperm can travel to meet the egg a lot quicker. I'd say it could even be perfect timing!!

Good luck Dream!

 

[Dream143r]

Sunny, when are you going to start testing?

Well part 1 over. Part 2 is on Friday morning.

 

[tbfromlv]

Well if I ovulate today (fingers crossed I don’t) then I’d be out. I won’t even see DH until about 6pm tomorrow. That egg is only good for a max of 24 hours. I just hope and pray I don’t Ovulate until sometime tomorrow or at least late late tonight!

Dream how quick will they tell you those results?

 

[Dream143r]

I'll have a follow up with the lame doctor once the SA and CD24 bloodwork is complete.

FX your egg doesn't come too soon!

 

[tbfromlv]

This is strange. And I hope it’s a good strange for this cycle... but my temp did not go up yet. My temp ALWAYS spikes the day after my days of positive opks. I haven’t had any O pains except slightly this morning.. if I’m ovulating literally right now, we MIGHT be able to catch the egg this afternoon when DH gets home. I know there’s a possibility I already did and for whatever reason my temp is being slower to rise, but I’ve got to hold on to some hope!

 

[SunnyBe]

That's great Tb It really sounds like you have an excellent shot to still catch that egg!

Dream, I'm not sure if I'll test. Haven't tested in the last 2 or 3 months as I don't really see the point when the chance of conceiving are so low. I'll definitely test next month though because it'd be stupid to fly all the way to Europe and find out it wasn't even necessary lol. AF is due Sunday or Monday I think and I'll order my IVF meds right after.

 

[Dream143r]

FX TB. Don't waste any time when he gets home. Just jump him lol.

 

[tbfromlv]

Ovulation pains have definitely been kickin up today so I really hope we caught it! Praying!!! And on another fun note, my friend I teach with who was doing IVF found out today she’s with twins! So exciting. I hope the good baby juju makes its way this way lol!

 

[AmberR]

Tb- hope you were able to catch that egg!
That's lovely that your friend had a successful IVF, especially twins! How exciting, and scary! (At least I would be a little scared of having twins!)

Dream- hope everything goes well for your tests!

Sunnybe- that would be just wonderful to get a BFP right before you are scheduled to start IVF!

Ok ladies I just need to vent!! I overheard a coworker talking about being pregnant... she didn't even know for quite a while and wasn't even trying... I almost cried! I feel so horrible because I really am happy for everyone else but I know so many people who weren't trying and got pregnant. Also there are about 15 ladies at work who are either pregnant or have had babies recently. The other day I had a coworker ask how things were going (she knew we had been trying) and had to tell her I had a miscarriage. Not sure if it's harder with people knowing or not! I hate seeing the look on other people's faces when I tell them, but it also helps to not have it be this big secret.

Anyway I was kind of shocked that hearing this news was upsetting to me as I went to my cousins baby shower a few weeks ago and was fine. I guess the trouble with my HCG going down slowly and not getting back to normal quickly has bothered me more than I thought. Well just needed to get that off my chest!!

 

[SunnyBe]

So sorry Amber!!!! I can't believe people can get pregnant without trying and here we all are trying everything we can without any luck. Sorry you're in this environment where everyone around you is pregnant or just had their babies I hope it'll soon be our turn. Feel free to vent whenever you feel like it, we're all in this together.

 

[tbfromlv]

I had significant o pains yesterday afternoon and evening and today I had a temp rise so I’m really hoping my body waited and yesterday was in fact o day. Wouldn’t that be a story. Lol we had one shot instead of our usual several shots and succeeded lol Fx

Dream, you’re close to O day right?

Amber-I 1000% feel that. I get so happy but so sad for me anytime I hear of others “accidentally” getting pregnant. It’s frustrating because we literally do everything extra in our powers to make sure we get pregnant and then month after month we don’t. Then someone just has a random oops and bingo! Feels like we drew the short straw sometimes. I can imagine right now it’s especially hard because of your loss and the still waiting limbo. You want to move on but you’re temporarily stuck. I just want you to know we are always here for the good and the bad!

 

[AmberR]

Thank you ladies for being so supportive. I thought I was doing pretty good but yesterday just hit me hard! Feeling better after writing that all out. Today is my Friday so looking forward to having the weekend off!

 

[Dream143r]

Venting = 100% allowed at all times.

I just found out a coworker is pregnant as well. Honestly I feel bad because I really didn't engage much or ask many questions. I don't think I could resist rolling my eyes if she said something like it was 'an accident' or they weren't trying.

Part 2 of my sonohysterogram was this morning. It was a bit painful when they removed the catheter but the whole procedure lasted only a few minutes so wasn't a big deal.

DH's SA is on Monday. I think he's a little nervous. It's cute. He says he going to have to wear old clothes cause he doesn't want to contaminate anything nice by being in the Jizz room. He's like think of how many men have jizzed in those rooms. lol he kills me.

CD10 for me. I expect to O next Friday or around there (CD17). I'm going to start my OPKs this afternoon. Then after the SA on Monday we can look at a BD schedule. (Sooooo Romantic).

Have an awesome weekend ladies!

 

[AmberR]

Dream- glad the sonohysterogram wasn't too painful! Your DH cracks me up, I hadn't thought of that! Too funny.

Afm, Still just waiting for AF. I really haven't bothered much with temping or OPKs like I thought I would. I have a follow up appt with my midwife on Wednesday and will hopefully get another HCG drawn then. I'm not scheduled to have it drawn until Friday but I'll ask if I can get it early since I will be there for my appt anyway.

 

[tbfromlv]

You guys have an actual room for the SA? We are allowed to do it at home or somewhere else as long as you get it to the lab within an hour. One of my friends lives right next to the lab so if/when we do the SA, we will go there while she’s out lol!

Well, I got solid crosshairs today saying I ovulated on Thursday so I hope our single BD session was sufficient! Dh said while he was gone he “took care of himself” on Tuesday so that it wasn’t too many days built up since they say too often or not often enough can be not the best! He did his best! Lol! If this ends up being our BFP cycle, that would be wild!

 

[Dream143r]

I hope this is it TB, proving also it only takes 1 time as we know.

 

[SunnyBe]

Dream, yeah if you live close enough you (well, he ) can just do it at home and hand it over within the hour. When do you get the results?

Tb, beautiful temp rise! I have high hopes for you this cycle!!

Amber, good luck this Wednesday. It's got to be down to zero by now right? Really hope you can move on soon. Waiting is just the worst

 

[Dream143r]

Yeah they offer that - to just do it at home but strongly recommended onsite collection to avoid temperature fluctuation etc.

Hoping for a + OPK on Wednesday. O on Friday.

Awesome temp rise TB.

When your cousin calls to tell you she's 6 weeks pregnant by a random Tinder hookup even though they used a condom.....
